Guess who did not mind the moving staircases so much? One Atlas Leonel Flamsteed, who had taken to spending at least one hour of his free time twice a week sitting on them as they moved from one side to the other. He could usually tell what mood they were in based on the frequency of the shifting and which ones were shifting when. Today seemed to be a particularly unruly sort of day and he reckoned it had to do with a couple of the portraits being gossipy about some nonsense or another. Or perhaps it was all the vine business. Given how rapidly they were growing, it was surely only a matter of time before they creeped inside the castle and ensnared one of the staircases. Some, like the exasperated Slytherin stomping around in this Gryffindor's peripheral vision, would likely welcome the forced stagnation. The same would not be said for the blonde, however.
Glancing up from his book, an old tattered copy of Ender's Game (it was a well preserved second edition), he observed the dark haired boy for a couple of seconds before deciding to offer a bit of unsolicited advice. "They're on a 3, 4, 2 loop at the moment."
